Helios HR team members Jacqueline Dendievel and Colleen Shannon recently offered an interviewing skills workshop, “Interviewing for Success: How to Stand Out From the Crowd,” to participants in Northern Virginia Family Service’s Training Futures program. The workshop’s aim was to support Training Futures participants by providing interview preparation skills (such as resume and job search tips, sample interview questions, and interviewing “do’s and don’ts”) along with mock interview experience.

Scott Eblin, executive coach and author of The Next Level, What Insiders Know about Executive Success, has done a remarkable job of capturing the characteristics of "Next Level Leadership".

On July 22nd I was fortunate to participate on a panel and present at the 5th Annual National Veteran Small Business Conference and Expo. My presentation addressed HR Compliance from 100,000 feet. Targeted to the growing federal contractor, I addressed both federal employment regulations pertaining to all employers based on number of employees as well as a more detailed look at those unique employment regulations that impact federal contractors alone. Judging from the audience participation, the topic was useful and timely for many. If you would like a copy of the presentation you can download it here. The conference, only in its 5th year, had over 3,000 attendees. Not bad in a year when many claim that travel and attendance are down. Topics ranged from building and enhancing business growth in the federal sector, to writing winning proposals, considerations in teaming agreements to building an appropriate infrastructure to address the needs of rapidly scaling the organization.
